What year defines MTB'ing for you?

[Dossa]

For me - 1990.

Possibly the best year for bikes - look at the Marin, Kona and Orange ranges at the time, for example...

Heady days...

1990 into 1991.......the ideas of the time started to settle into really useable kit.......all my favourite bikes in my collection were 1991 give or take 6 months....

etc etc......

The quintessential Fisher year. Also good are the cottage shop years of the early 90's for Grafton, Grove, Paul, Merlin, Ted Wojik etc..
